Arrogance is not in our dictionary
We own people's hearts... It's not difficult. Realizing things will be difficult, so don't miss the opportunity!! BADGATE 💋
Good evening, dear friends 👋. Today I want to remind you that there are only 8 days left until the end of the campaign #Vanar . I hope that a new campaign will appear soon and it will be just as interesting. Today I want to say that @Vanarchain is doing well in expanding Web3 beyond finance, focusing on gaming, digital ownership, and mass users. The project #vanar has a very good infrastructure, and it is this that forms the practical basis for the development of $VANRY . I will try to explain in more detail in my article.
For now, thank you for your attention❤️ {future}(VANRYUSDT)
Good evening again👋. Let's keep it brief today. What is DeFi? I think I should start revealing this topic by explaining what DeFi is. I believe that no one can explain it better than Gpt. Therefore, I will simply quote: "DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is decentralized finance, meaning financial services that operate on the blockchain without traditional intermediaries — banks, brokers, or payment companies. Instead of a centralized institution, operations are performed by smart contracts — automated programs on the blockchain." I won't delve into this topic in more detail. After all, this article is intended for #vanar .
Whale Opens High-Stakes Bitcoin Long Position with 20x Leverage
Crypto KOL Ted posted on X about a significant move in the cryptocurrency market. A large investor, often referred to as a 'whale,' has opened a long position in Bitcoin valued at $53,464,000, utilizing 20x leverage. This high-risk strategy means that if Bitcoin's price decreases by 10%, the investor will face full liquidation of their position. The move highlights the ongoing volatility and speculative nature of the cryptocurrency market.
YouTube Launches App for Apple's Vision Pro Headset
YouTube has introduced a dedicated application for Apple's Vision Pro headset, addressing a significant absence in the device's entertainment offerings. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that this development comes two years after the headset's initial release. The new app aims to enhance the user experience by providing access to YouTube's vast library of content directly through the Vision Pro. This move is expected to bolster the headset's appeal among consumers seeking immersive entertainment options. The Vision Pro, known for its advanced features, now offers users a more comprehensive multimedia experience with the inclusion of YouTube's app.

The Sun Bible: Volume II
A decade has passed in the blink of an eye. Looking back, this world is both cruel and gentle.
In 2016, the first volume of The Sun Bible, titled Brave New World, was completed. At 26, I wrote:
"Young people in contemporary China can change their destinies without relying on family connections, wealth, or resources, only on their personal cognition. To achieve success through individual struggle and break through social stratification is the most dignified and proudest thing in this world."
That was our "China Story."
Today, ten years later, The Sun Bible: Volume II is in progress. Its vision is no longer limited to one nation, but the entire world.
Warren Buffett once spoke of the "Ovarian Lottery," attributing success to the luck of being born in the US.
But today, we thank Blockchain, we thank AI, and we thank these frontier sciences. They are erasing the gap of birthplaces and tearing down the barriers of race and nationality.
No matter where you are born, AI and Blockchain grant every young person the opportunity for upward mobility. This is the dawn of true human equality.
The Sun Bible: Volume II is the gospel for the youth of the future: it is not just a dream, but the reality we are building with our own hands.
@Plasma 's future is tied to a simple but powerful trend: the world is moving toward digital dollars and borderless payments. If stablecoins become everyday money, networks that move them cheaply and smoothly could become essential infrastructure, and that’s where $XPL steps in.
Bullish scenario: XPL evolves into a core rail for stablecoin flows. More wallets, fintech apps, and cross-border payment platforms plug into the network. As usage grows, demand for network resources and ecosystem participation rises. XPL gains relevance as the economic fuel of a high-utility chain. Momentum compounds.
Base scenario: steady adoption. Payroll apps, remittance tools, and online merchants quietly use Plasma’s rails. Not hype, just real usage. Over time, reliability builds trust, and trust builds value.
Challenging scenario: regulation tightens or competitors fight for the same niche. Growth slows, but strong execution, incentives, and partnerships help the ecosystem adapt and survive.
People will always want faster, cheaper, simpler money. If XPL keeps aligning with that truth, its story could be bigger than price. it could be about enabling global financial freedom.
✨Note: The future isn’t guaranteed, but the direction is clear: where usability wins, adoption follows.
Vanar Chain and User Experience: The Path to Mass Web3
UX as a key growth factor Today, while I was drinking my morning coffee and thinking about what to write about #Vanar , I realized that one of the main obstacles to the mass adoption of Web3 remains the complexity of using blockchain products. And I believe that Vanar Chain focuses on improving user experience and strives to make interaction with the blockchain as intuitive and understandable as possible. So, it is over a cup of delicious, hot coffee that bright ideas can come to mind😄
But I think that during this period specifically, the first third of 2026, BTC lost some trust and faced some accusations regarding Epstein... we'll see what happens.

Bullish
Bitcoin continues to strengthen its position as a key macro asset in the cryptocurrency space and is increasingly viewed by investors as a digital equivalent of gold. Its limited issuance of 21 million coins creates a deflationary effect, which becomes particularly significant in the context of rising inflation and instability in traditional financial markets. A separate role in shaping long-term demand is played by institutional adoption of BTC. The growing interest from funds, public companies, and financial products based on $BTC gradually reduces volatility and enhances the asset's status as a capital preservation tool. At the same time, Bitcoin remains the foundation of the entire crypto market, determining overall market sentiment and liquidity movement. From an investment perspective, $BTC is increasingly seen as a portfolio diversification element capable of balancing risks during periods of economic uncertainty. In the long term, Bitcoin may remain a strategic asset for investors focused on preserving value and participating in the transformation of the global financial system.
Spark’s new lending suite tests Wall Street’s appetite for onchain stablecoins
Spark announced the launch of Spark Prime and Spark Institutional Lending on Wednesday to channel more of its decentralized finance (DeFi) stablecoin reserves into institutional credit markets.
Spark, a decentralized asset allocator whose core contributors, Phoenix Labs, previously helped design MakerDAO’s stablecoin and risk architecture, said its new suite is meant to let borrowers tap stablecoin loans without having to run their own DeFi operations.
Spark Prime offers margin‑style lending and off‑exchange settlement powered by Spark’s liquidity engine, while Spark Institutional Lending plugs Spark‑governed markets into qualified custodians such as Anchorage Digital so clients can keep collateral inside regulated custody.
According to Spark, early launch partners for Spark Prime include Edge Capital, M1 and Hardcore Labs.
Co‑founder and CEO of Phoenix Labs, Sam MacPherson, told Cointelegraph that Institutional Lending was already at around $150 million in commitments, with capacity “to scale to billions over the coming months,” while Spark Prime is starting with about $15 million and will ramp more slowly as “key safety features” are rolled out.
Spark leans on Coinbase and PayPal deals
According to data from DeFi Llama, Spark’s total value locked (TVL) is currently at $5.24 billion, down from a high of $9.2 billion in Nov. 2025, placing it among the larger DeFi money market platforms by assets.
By comparison, Aave currently leads DeFi lending with $27 billion in TVL, while Maple sits at $2.1 billion.
Spark says it supplied more than 80% of the USDC (USDC) liquidity for Coinbase’s Bitcoin‑backed loan market on Morpho, helping drive roughly $500 million in loan growth in the first three months, and public dashboards show Spark‑linked vaults have deployed more than $600 million to that market since launch.
PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin program has also used roughly $500 million in Spark‑governed liquidity to deepen onchain markets for PYUSD and other stablecoins.
DeFi’s resilience and market backdrop
The launch also highlights how DeFi has held up relative to token prices overall. Currently at $96.52 billion, the overall DeFi TVL has fallen from around $120 billion at the end of January 2026, representing a 20% decline during the recent crypto selloff, compared to the broader crypto market.

Over the same period, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped from roughly $89,000 at the end of Jan to around $66,800 at the time of writing on Feb. 11, a decline of about 25%, while Ether (ETH) fell from about $3,000 at the end of January to roughly $1,950, down around 35%, according to data from Coingecko.
MacPherson argued that one advantage of Spark’s model is that “anyone can evaluate the full portfolio in real time,” adding that institutions can underwrite its books against their own limits and exit “if the profile does not align with their risk controls.”
Magazine: Meet the onchain crypto detectives fighting crime better than the cops
Why this setup? The 1d trend is bearish, reinforcing the bias — that frames the bias. I’m using 4h for structure and lower timeframes for the trigger inside (0.090-0.091). If the trigger prints, TP1 at 0.089 is the first stop on the path. Lower TF RSI shows no extreme oversold, leaving room for the move to develop. Any sustained acceptance beyond 0.099 invalidates it.
Debate: Is this the start of the next leg toward 0.089, or does reclaim above 0.099 cancel the idea?
Pushes higher aren’t holding cleanly and buyers don’t look comfortable defending rebounds. Strength keeps getting faded while downside reactions are starting to open up smoother. The flow feels heavy with supply pressing into momentum, which usually favors continuation lower if sellers stay active.
👁Market Context: The overall trend remains downward, so we will take advantage of the current upward movement. This could be a short-term rally, or if the daily high is broken, the overall trend will shift to upward. We will open a long (scalping position.)
Looking at Plasma Like a Cross-Border E-commerce Settlement Network
@Plasma Anyone who has worked in cross-border e-commerce knows this truth: selling the product is only the beginning. The real struggle starts after the sale. I’ve lived through long settlement cycles that stretch for weeks, currency conversion losses that quietly eat into margins, and the constant anxiety of refunds or chargebacks. On paper, profits look fine. In reality, the real lifeline of the business is cash flow — and that’s where most sellers suffer. This is the lens through which I started looking at Plasma.
Plasma isn’t trying to impress with speed alone. It feels more like a clearing and settlement rail built specifically for stablecoins. The most obvious feature is zero-fee USDT transfers, which instantly removes the entry barrier. In the past, even a simple transfer required buying native tokens just to pay gas. For regular users and merchants, that friction is enough to turn them away. Plasma changes that experience completely. Sending stablecoins feels as natural as scanning a QR code to pay — simple, predictable, and stress-free. That’s when stablecoins stop being “exchange assets” and start behaving like real balances people are comfortable holding and spending. Of course, zero fees sound great, but anyone who understands payment systems knows the danger. A clearing network can’t survive unchecked abuse. Spam transactions, bots, and arbitrage scripts can overwhelm the system, and when accounting risks appear, real users always pay the price. This is where Plasma’s design matters. The rules are enforced at the protocol level. The zero-fee channel is open, but disciplined. Clear boundaries are what separate a usable financial network from a temporary gimmick. Complex interactions still carry fees — and that’s just common sense. What stands out is Plasma’s gas abstraction. Fees can be paid directly using USDT or even BTC. No jumping between tokens, no fragmented balances. For users, assets stay unified. For merchants, risk control and settlement paths become shorter and cleaner, which naturally reduces operational failures. Security is the other pillar that caught my attention. Plasma periodically anchors its state to Bitcoin. Think of it as appointing Bitcoin as the ultimate notary. For institutions, promises mean nothing. What matters is provability under extreme conditions.
When records are anchored to Bitcoin, the cost of tampering becomes astronomically high. That’s the kind of foundation large funds and serious businesses need before trusting a settlement layer with real volume. In the end, Plasma’s real test is whether it can move from on-chain logic to real-world usage. By connecting stablecoin balances to cards and merchant networks, it turns digital assets into actual purchasing power. Only when stablecoins stop being chips inside exchanges — and start acting like cash flow that can circulate, settle, and be spent instantly — does a clearing network like Plasma show its true value. #Plasma $XPL {spot}(XPLUSDT)
The Day I Stopped Treating Every Crypto Coin the Same
@Plasma For a long time, crypto felt like a guessing game. I jumped from one popular coin to another, watching charts, paying high fees, and waiting for confirmations that tested my patience. Every project promised a big future, but daily usage was painful. Then I discovered Plasma XPL. I wasn’t looking for hype. I wanted something that actually worked. And Plasma delivered. Transactions were fast, fees were almost nothing, and confirmations felt instant. For the first time, using blockchain felt effortless and reliable. Most crypto coins talk about what they might become. Plasma shows what blockchain should already be. It focuses on real usage, not just price movements. That’s when I realized Plasma isn’t just another coin—it’s a working ecosystem built for real users, not just traders. When I compare Plasma XPL to other crypto coins, the difference is clear. Plasma feels practical, secure, and ready for real-world use. That’s why it earned my trust—and why I believe it stands out in the crowded crypto world. #Plasma $XPL {spot}(XPLUSDT)
{future}(DUSKUSDT) Today is most likely my last publications about #Dusk , I would like to summarize this campaign. It has been a very productive and interesting month. The campaign around #dusk showed that interest in privacy and compliance with regulations in blockchain is only growing. The approach @Dusk to infrastructure for financial solutions looks consistent, and the role $DUSK in the ecosystem logically enhances its development.
As of today, I am finishing in 218th place in the table, it would be interesting to know what place you are in.
I want to thank everyone who also participated, as well as the platform #CreatorPad and @Binance Square Official for this unforgettable adventure and for the reward I received two weeks ago for making it into the top 100, it was an unforgettable experience ❤️🤗
congratulations, together we will make great something👍
